If you've been around Catholics on Ash Wednesday, you may have seen them wearing ashes, which were probably imposed by a priest reciting

"Memento, homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris."

(Remember, man, that you are dust, and to dust you will return.)

a liturgical adaptation of Genesis 3:19.
